AND THE STYLE AWARD GOES TO...

It wasn't Oscar's most daring year for fashion (lots of black, lots of red, and starlets sticking to their mostly predictable favorite designers) but there were still more than a few standouts. My personal winners:

Her Oscar de la Renta dress is certainly beautiful (if a bit formulaic) but it was her gorgeous glow, perfectly mussed hair, and perfectly placed choker that made me look at Jennifer Garner in awe. Maybe it's just because we're so used to seeing her in sweats on the pages of US Weekly, but I can't believe how truly stunning she looked.
